An operator, not an influencer

Put AI to work — every day, in production.

Workshops, coaching, and strategy from someone who builds and ships real products with AI — daily.

Where are you now?

Which best describes you?

The premise

The demo is easy. The version that survives real work is the job.

Most AI advice is a trend deck. I'm the opposite: a lawyer who learned to code at nine, an entrepreneur of 26 years, and an operator who ships production AI every day — not someone renting out opinions.

AI becomes useful when it's wrapped in discipline: staged systems, source anchoring, review, reversibility. That's what I teach, coach, and build.

How we work together

Clear formats, not packages you have to decode.

Every engagement starts from a real problem and ends with something you can use. Pick a lane above and the right ones rise to the top.

Where AI breaks

I'll also tell you what not to automate.

01
No AI slop.

Tests, gates, and judgment on every change. Speed without a lower bar for correctness.

02
Source-anchored — or explicitly omitted.

Outputs are backed by the source or rendered explicitly empty — never confidently invented.

03
A human stays on the hook.

Decisions that carry real consequence keep a person in the loop. Some things shouldn't be automated.

04
Reversible by design.

Changes that reach production can be rolled back. The principle is visible; the method is the work.

Why should you listen to me

Hi, I'm Eckart — and I teach what I actually ship.

A lawyer who learned to code at nine, an entrepreneur for 26 years, and — most days — an operator shipping production AI. I founded Uberchord (acquired by Duolingo in 2024) and now build clinical document systems as co-founder & CTPO at HealthJet. I don't rent out opinions: I teach and coach from the work I'm doing right now.

In their words

What people take away

Trusted by
What I liked best was how he opened — even though the presentation ran long. Afterwards I was motivated and keen to try things out. When I had questions, he never just told me how to do it; he always showed me how to help myself. Loved it.
Keynote + CoachingDE
He was super enthusiastic but honest — I appreciated that.
KeynoteEN
The keynote really showed what was possible, and the fireside session let us dive into more specific topics and questions. On top of that, Eckart was a great coach — very insightful, and a good role model to look up to.
Keynote · FiresideEN
Eckart wasn't just a doer — he also has coaching experience. He managed to guide me, motivate me, and get me into actually doing the work. You need that kind of personality, too.
CoachingDE
Eckart was great — very inspiring. It's cool that he's not a coach just talking about theoretical stuff, but sharing what he actually does day to day. Great spirit, too.
KeynoteEN
Really helpful. The breakout sessions where we brainstormed together were especially good.
